NEIGHBORING BEAM ASSISTED BEAMFORMING AND BEAMTRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240097760 titled 'NEIGHBORING BEAM ASSISTED BEAMFORMING AND BEAMTRACKING
Simplified Explanation
A base station in a communication system can efficiently form and update targeted beams to communicate with user equipment by determining the position of the user equipment based on signal characteristics and providing targeted beams accordingly.
- Base station transmits beams to user equipment
- User equipment receives beams and transmits a signal back
- Base station determines signal characteristics and compares them with predefined characteristics
- Base station determines position of user equipment and transmits targeted beam
- Base station tracks user equipment position and updates targeted beam accordingly

Original Abstract Submitted
a base station may transmit beams to user equipment. the user equipment may receive the beams and transmit a signal to a base station. the base station may determine signal characteristics associated with the beams based on the signal and compare the signal characteristics with predefined signal characteristics that correspond to potential locations of the user equipment. based on this comparison, the base station may determine a position of the user equipment and transmit a targeted beam based on the position of the user equipment. the base station may also track the position of the user equipment and provide an updated targeted beam based on an updated position of the user equipment. accordingly, the base station may efficiently form and update the targeted beam based on the predefined signal characteristics, thereby reducing an amount of time required to establish and maintain communication with the user equipment.
